[The PCD has apparently turned on in Molly's pocket as she's out exploring -- for a moment or two, all that can be heard is the sound of her walking. Then, she stops, quiet and staring for a moment, until there's the sound of something lunging for her, and a soft breath from Molly.]

Oh shit oh shit oh shit I'm too young to get eaten.

[She digs in her pocket, pulls out the PCD and tosses it aside, where it settles on Molly, wand at the ready, facing off against a parasite in the distance. She grits her teeth for a moment or two, then mutters a quiet word in Japanese, and a fireball goes shooting towards the creature. However, fire and defensive magic aren't exactly her strong suit, so the fireball promptly gets bigger and bigger, until it peters out a short distance away from the parasite. Molly curses quietly and closes her eyes, and to all appearances, disappears after a moment or two. The parasite quickly loses interest and leaves. When she's sure it's safe, Molly drops the veil and tentatively picks up the PCD and pokes at it, shaking her head. She looks a little sooty and singed, but otherwise unharmed, if slightly tired.]

Dammit. You guys weren't supposed to see that. Sorry.

Oh, uh. Veils, illusions, all that kind of stuff.

Like making yourself invisible there? It's a fairly useful skill to have, I'd think.

It is, but it means I can't do -- fire and defensive stuff that well, unfortunately.

I suppose you could try to get better with illusions to a point you don't have to fight.

Yeah, but that doesn't work so well sometimes. Like if you're in the snow and surrounded.

Point. I take it magic flying isn't something you can learn in your world. I mean, it's something very few people in mine can do, but I know that's not true everywhere.

Um. I think maybe a few people can? I don't know, I've never asked.

How do you lean back home? D'you go to school or something else?

I've got a teacher. [A long pause.] Well, I've sort of got a substitute one now.

I didn't actually figure out I had magic until a few years ago, so.

I know what you mean. People like me, who're raised by non-magicfolk, don't really get told until we're eleven.

Well, my parents aren't -- let's just say my family's really familiar with magic.

My parents were. My aunt and uncle, who I lived with, weren't. Well, they were insomuch as they knew they hated it.

[A pause.] My dad used to fight demons and stuff with my teacher.
